I've raised £600 to help replace broken Trim Trail equipment at Gorringe Park Primary School.

My name is Rex and I am in Year 3 at Gorringe Park Primary School in Mitcham, South West London.
I love my school and have great fun learning and playing with my friends. Our playground is great, but some of the equipment we use to stay active has broken and now we are not allowed to use it so no one gets hurt. I want to raise money to help the school replace the equipment and make a new 'Trim Trail' for everybody in the school to enjoy. Keeping fit helps us learn and stay healthy so I think this is really important. Our PTA is doing lots of fundraising to pay for it and I decided I want to help.
I have decided to do the Couch to 5k programme, which involves running 3 times a week for 9 weeks ending with a 5km run. I will do my final run on Saturday 20th July* at the Tooting Common Park Run. I've never run more than 2km before so this is a big challenge for me.
I hope you will sponsor me and help get this important equipment for my school.
